COMBINED COVER AND CARRIER DEVICE FOR LIQUID-CONTAINERSi specification.

My invention relates to an improved combined handle and cover attachment for bottle's, jars, and other analogous liquid containers, as hereinafter set forth and claimed. In my-improvement the arms of the han die or ball member" extend downward through oppositely arranged guide openings formed in the metal cap or coverand' are articulated or movably jointed below if cover to the metal band encircling the neck of the container. As thus devised the bail is maintained in an upright position and prevented from swinging by means of the cover itself when the latter is normally seated on the mouth'of the bottle or container.

In the accompanying sheet of drawings, Figure 1 represents a side elevation of the upper portion of a container having my improved cover and handle attachment nor .mally connected to it. Fig. 2 is a similar -view, taken at right angles to Fig. 1, showing by dotted lines the position and relation of the parts to the vessel when the latter is uncovered, or open. Fig. 3 is a top plan View of the device detached from the vessel. Fig. 4 is 'a horizontal cross-section taken on line 4 4 of Fig. l, and Fig. 5 is a longitudinal section, on line 5 5 of Fig. 1, the band being omitted. 1

The following is a more detailed description of the invention.

A in the drawings, v,designates my proved cover, handle carrier device as a whole, arranged to be easily and quickly attached to the neck n of a bottle or container and as easily. detached therefrom.

' The mouth of bottles of this general type are usually provided with a recessed seat a, substantially as indicated in Fig. 5. The cover member 0 is formed integral from suitspecification of Letters Patent. Application filed February 26, 1914. Serial No. 821,321.

and having diametrically opposed clips 0 possessing a degree of resiliency-{said clips,

when the device is in use, being sprung over the outer-peripheral rim or enlargement 1 formed at the mouth of the vessel. The cover is further provided with opposed flat perforated ears 6 arranged in the same plane with the clips and located at substantially right angles to thcm,,and having a recessed central portion 0" preferably arranged to conform to the said recessed part n of the bottle.

'The metal band a a isbent to receive;

and encircle the neck of the bottle. The ends a of the band may extend in opposite directionsand be provided with registering perforations ar arranged to receive the open. hook or eye'ends b of the handle I), soon 1 to be described.

The handleor carrier member I) isformed from a length of wire, the same when bent has the form approximatelyvof an inverted U, the horizontal arm or upper tie 7) has its end portions extending downwardly and forming vertical side arms b pas'sing freely through the perforations of 'said ears 6 and terminating in eyes b connecting with the respective perforated ends a of the band a. If desired one for both the said eyesb may be separated-suiiiciently to readily permit of its insertion into or removal'from the band.

t will he observed that in order to pour from the vessel as Well as to refill it the device or attachment A would appear substantially as indicated by dottedlines in Fig. 2; and to remove the device altogether from the vessel a movement of the handle endwise toward the rear, see arrow direction Fig. 2, serves to disconnect the parts sufliciently to allow of the removal. of the band from the vessel, preparatory to its attachment to another container, at will. I claim: The combination with a bottle or con tainer provided with a reduced neck having an enlarged mouth. and a metal. band encircling the neck andhaving opposed lugs carried by the ends thereof, a metal cap normally closing the mouth of the container,
